**General Topic:** Survival **Specific Topic:** Supplies for survival **Audience:** 7th and 8th graders **Type of Activity:** WebQuest

Your family was flying over the Rocky Mountains over Thanksgiving when their plane went down. The captain of the plane transmitted over the radio that all the passengers survived, but their location was unknown. Shortly after, all communication was lost. You and a group of volunteers created a search party.
 * Topic Overview: **

A local man has offered his helicopter as a means of transportation. The terrain is rough and the weather is at its worst. He will only be able to drop you off in a central location. There is only enough room for five volunteers to board the helicopter. Due to the number of passengers, there is a 75-pound limit of supplies per person. Your task is to create a list of supplies that weigh less than 75 pounds. You only have $500 dollars in your bank account. You must purchase at least twelve unique items from at least two different stores. Remember to include any tax (6% tax in Pennsylvania) and any shipping charges. You may **NOT** include a gun.

 * Turn in the completed spreadsheet.
 * Present to the class your survival list and explain why you chose each item.


 * Process/Guidance: **
 * Before searching the Internet sites for ideas, list on paper what you consider to be a necessity.
